Dragonfly Garden - Daffodils


Almost done with the daffodils. Two still need petals. They has light cream ones...but the background fabric was showing through too much, so I removed them. Have to find some white fabric that is thick enough to keep the background from showing. Guess it's time to go shopping!

Tulips Base Block Complete


Well, I was able to get the heads on the tulips finished yesterday. Now the base block is complete, ready for the sheer overlay fabric and all/any other embellishments along the path. But, before that step...the other base blocks need to be done.
My eyes get tired more quickly working on the light table. So, the second block awaits me today!
I did spend a little time working some more on the huge beaded dragonfly. Do you remember it? Here is where we left off...

Guesses?




Any guesses...what will this be?
No fair peeking.
The journey continues...and barely begins.
Here are two more hints.

 


 And the final big clue!



If you guessed the layout and start of the shadow-work blocks for the Dragonfly Garden quilt...you'd be right! And the first block I'm working on is the tulips. Yesterday the backgrounds were all measured and cut...and then the stems/leaves for the tulips were fused into place. Today, perhaps I'll be able to get the tulip heads in place...and them move on to the next block!
 
ETA: 4/6/2012 If you would like the tulip shadow-work pattern, it is free, and is located as a pdf sheet in the Shawkl_Blog_Files Yahoo group files. Look in the Quilting Patterns folder, under Shadow Applique Florals.
